I need a source for U Link Plugs used on the encode/decode jacks on the rear of the decks.

I thought someone had posted a link to a source, but I cannot find it.

Anyone know a source please?

Tascam refers to these as "Short Pin Plugs" and the Tascam P/N is 5330507500.

I had seen a posted link for metal ones as shown in the Tascam manuals in the DBX areas.

I don't need Tascam units unless someone has some they wish to rid of.
 
just use RCA plugs with short jumper. If you don't have them in a "junk box" :) you can buy them at radioshack.
Here's source:
three bucks for 4-pack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103423 , you need to solder the jumpers for these.

four buck for 4-pack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103789 , these have small screws on the pins inside the housing, so you don't have to solder, plus the sleeves come off, so you just use the pins with a short jumper wire screwed on them.
 
I found out that the Tascam deck encode/decode rca spacings are 14 mm & not 15 mm.

I have on hand a few of the Tascam latching "speed" switch parts for MS-16 / ATR-60 Part #53000257-00 that measured 15 mm which I had assumed were for the smaller deck applications!

So these replacement parts are in fact a perfect fit for the standard Tascam decks!
 
Well a closer inspection and a test fit concludes that the jumpers are indeed fifteen 15 mm spacing!

So this then negates the part offering by Futurlec at 14 mm as being a suitable part.

Sorry for all the confusion!

I will keep searching for a source.
